Then Charles Townsend Copeland begins to read aloud in a flexible voice, sympathetic with anything from Ring Lardner to Alfred Lord Tennyson...
...howled. In the factory yard a joint funeral service began for Thomas Bat'a and Pilot Heinrich Brouceck. Sixty thousand mourners, many of them peasants with black kerchiefs, marched past the catafalque hour after hour. In a husky voice that several times broke, Jan Bat'a read aloud Thomas Bat'a's will. It ignores his son Tommy as such, leaves all to the House of Bat'a as a family trust...
